Description
he La Escondida Mezcal Artesanal Reposado 40% Vol. 0.7 l + GB is an outstanding, traditionally produced mezcal that carries the mystique and depth of Mexico within it. The name "La Escondida", which translates as "the hidden woman", is based on a fascinating legend dating back to 1543, which tells the story of a Spanish princess who was once captured but managed to escape - only to never be found again. Local fishermen, however, claimed to have later spotted her as a mermaid in the Pacific Ocean. This mysterious tale is reflected in the depth and elegance of this mezcal.
Made from 100% Maguey Espadín (Agave Angustifolia), this mezcal comes from the highland region of Oaxaca, the heart of mezcal culture. It is produced using traditional methods: The agave hearts, also known as "piñas", are slowly roasted in underground stone ovens over wood and hot stones to develop the characteristic smoky note. The mezcal then ferments with wild yeasts and is double distilled in copper stills to achieve exceptional purity and aromatic depth.
After distillation, this reposado mezcal is matured for several months in oak barrels to give it its smooth, slightly sweet character. The barrel ageing gives it additional notes of vanilla, caramel and spices, while the smoky agave base is retained. With an alcohol content of 40% by volume, this mezcal offers a perfect balance between powerful and soft elements.
